## Search a (possibly empty) list of libraries for the library required to link
## against a given (extern C) symbol. Pass the list of libraries as variadic
## arguments to the macro.
##
## Operates analogously to autoconfs AC_SEARCH_LIBS.
##
## If the symbol is found the variable provided will be set to the required
## library, or cleared for no library. Sets variable_FOUND to true if the
## symbol was discovered in some capacity (to differentiate between no library
## required, and the symbol not being found)
##
## Does not work for C++ symbols.
